Description of Related Art

In general, the multilayer circuit structure of a circuit board is mostly manufactured by a build-up method or a laminated method, and thus has the features of high circuit density and reduced circuit spacing. For example, the multilayer circuit structure is formed by combining a copper foil and a PrePreg into a build-up layer structure and stacking the build-up layer structure on a core layer via repeated lamination to increase the internal wiring space of the multilayer circuit structure, wherein the conductive material on the build-up layer structure may form conductive circuits according to the required circuit layout, and the blind vias or through-holes of the build-up layer structure may be additionally filled with a conductive material to conduct each of the layers. Thus, the multilayer circuit structure may be manufactured by adjusting the number of circuit structures according to requirements and via the above method.

With the advancement of technology, all kinds of electronic products are developed to have high speed, high efficiency, and be compact. Under this trend, the number of layers of the multilayer circuit structure has also increased to accommodate more complex electronic product designs. However, as the number of layers of the multilayer circuit structure increases, the warpage issue of the multilayer circuit structure becomes more significant.

The manufacturing method of the circuit carrier board structure 1 is described below with an embodiment.

FIG. 2A to FIG. 2D are cross-sectional views of a manufacturing process of a first substrate of an embodiment of the invention. Referring to FIG. 2A to FIG. 2D, the manufacturing method of the circuit carrier board structure 1 includes the following steps. First, a temporary carrier board 110 is provided, and then a first substrate 100 is formed on the temporary carrier board 110. In the present embodiment, the first substrate 100 has a first surface 102 and a second surface 104 opposite to the first surface 102 (shown in FIG. 2D).

In the present embodiment, the method of forming the first substrate 100 includes the following steps. Referring again to FIG. 2A, a release layer 130 is formed on the temporary carrier board 110. In the present embodiment, the temporary carrier board 110 may be a glass substrate, a Si substrate, a ceramic substrate, or a combination thereof, and the invention is not limited thereto. The release layer 130 may be a photo-curable release film or a thermal curable release film, but the invention is not limited thereto.

Next, referring to FIG. 2B, FIG. 2C, and FIG. 2D, a plating process is performed to form a plurality of first build-up layers 120 sequentially stacked on the release layer 130. In the present embodiment, the first build-up layers 120 include a first dielectric layer 122 and a first circuit layer 124. For example, the first circuit layer 124 is embedded in the first dielectric layer 122, but the invention is not limited thereto. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2B, one layer of the first build-up layer 120 is first disposed on the release layer 130. Next, referring to FIG. 2C and FIG. 2D, a plurality of first build-up layers 120 are sequentially combined and stacked on the first build-up layer 120. As shown in FIG. 2D, the first substrate 100 of the present embodiment is exemplified by a stack of three first build-up layers 120, but the invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the number of the first build-up layers 120 may be single or multiple layers, depending on the needs of the user.

After the step of forming the first substrate 100, an adhesive layer 170 is next disposed on the first substrate 100. In the present embodiment, the adhesive layer 170 is disposed, for example, as the first dielectric layer 122 in the first build-up layers 120. In other words, the adhesive layer and the dielectric layer are, for example, the same material. Therefore, in the subsequent combination process, the first substrate 100 and the second substrate 200 may be directly combined without the step of providing the adhesive material, thereby simplifying the process. In the present embodiment, the second surface 104 of the adhesive layer 170 (e.g., the outermost first dielectric layer 122) is combined to the third surface 202 of the second substrate 200. The material of the adhesive layer 170 includes a dielectric material selecting from one of a PrePreg, a flame-resistant glass fiber (FR4), a resin-coated cooper foil, an Ajinomoto Build-up (ABF) film, an adhesive, a solder resist material, and a photosensitive dielectric material.

However, the invention is not limited thereto.

In the present embodiment, the first substrate 100 is, for example, a redistribution layer (RDL), and the first circuit layer 124 of each of the first build-up layers 120 may be applied as a redistribution circuit, but the invention is not limited thereto. In the present embodiment, the first circuit layer 124 is provided by an ultrafine circuit process having a linewidth of less than or equal to 10 microns, but the invention is not limited thereto. The first build-up layers 120 are electrically connected to one another. In the present embodiment, the material of the first circuit layer 124 includes a metal material, which may be, for example, copper or the like. The material of the first dielectric layer 122 includes a dielectric material. The dielectric material is, for example, a PrePreg, a photoimageable dielectric (PID), a photosensitive polymer (for example, benzocyclobutene), an ABF film, a resin-coated cooper foil (RCC), a glass fiber resin composite material, or a combination thereof, and the invention is not limited thereto.

FIG. 3A to FIG. 3E are cross-sectional views of a manufacturing process of a second substrate of an embodiment of the invention. Next, referring to FIG. 3A to FIG. 3E, a second substrate 200 is provided. The second substrate 200 has a third surface 202 and a fourth surface 204 opposite to the third surface 202 (shown in FIG. 3E). The second substrate 200 of the present embodiment is exemplified by a high-density interconnect (HDI), but the invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the second substrate 200 may also be a coreless substrate, a printed circuit board (PCB), or an any-layer PCB.

In the present embodiment, the method of providing the second substrate 200 includes the following steps. Referring again to FIG. 3A, a second base 210 is first provided. The second base 210 includes a core substrate or a coreless substrate. In the present embodiment, the second base 210 may be an insulating substrate, a glass substrate, or a combination thereof, and the invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the second base 210 may also be a PrePreg or other suitable dielectric materials.

In the present embodiment, a photoresist pattern (not labeled) may be optionally disposed on the second base 210 to form a plurality of openings (not labeled) passing through the second base 210 in the second substrate 210, but the invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the openings may also be formed by mechanical drilling, laser drilling, or other suitable methods.

Next, a plating process is performed to respectively form a plurality of second build-up layers 220 sequentially stacked on two opposite surfaces of the second base 210. In the present embodiment, the second build-up layers 220 include a second dielectric layer 222 and a second circuit layer 224. For example, the second circuit layer 224 is embedded in the second dielectric layer 222, but the invention is not limited thereto. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3C, one layer of the second build-up layer 220 is first disposed on the second base 210. Next, referring to FIG. 3C and FIG. 3D, a plurality of second build-up layers 220 are sequentially combined and stacked on the second build-up layer 220. As shown in FIG. 3E, in the present embodiment, the second substrate 200 of the present embodiment is exemplified by stacks of three second build-up layers 220 respectively disposed on two opposite surfaces of the second base 210, but the invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the number of the second build-up layers 220 may be single or multiple layers, depending on the needs of the user. In other embodiments, the second build-up layers 220 may also be disposed only on one of the surfaces of the second base 210, and the invention is not limited thereto.

Referring to FIG. 3E, a plurality of conductive pads 240 are formed on the third surface 202 of the second substrate 200. In the present embodiment, the conductive pads 240 are electrically connected to the second circuit layer 224. In the present embodiment, the third surface 202 is exemplified by the uppermost surface of the second substrate 200, and the third surface 202 faces the first substrate 100 (shown in FIG. 4A). In the present embodiment, the material of the conductive pads 240 includes a metal material, which may be, for example, copper or the like.

In the present embodiment, the second build-up layers 220 are electrically connected to one another. In the present embodiment, the material of the second circuit layer 224 includes a metal material, which may be, for example, copper or the like. The material of the second dielectric layer 222 includes a dielectric material. The dielectric material is, for example, a PrePreg, a PID, a photosensitive polymer (for example, benzocyclobutene), an ABF film, an RCC, a glass fiber resin composite material, or a combination thereof, and the invention is not limited thereto.

FIG. 4A to FIG. 4G are cross-sectional views of a manufacturing process of a circuit carrier board of an embodiment of the invention. Referring to FIG. 4A, after the step of forming the first substrate 100 and providing the second substrate 200, the second surface 104 of the first substrate 100 is then combined to the third surface 202 of the second substrate 200. Before the step of the above combination, in the present embodiment, the adhesive layer 170 is first used as the first dielectric layer 122 and disposed on the first substrate 100, but the invention is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the adhesive layer 170 may be disposed on one of the first substrate 100 and the second substrate 200. For example, the adhesive layer may also be disposed on the second substrate 200 as the outermost second dielectric layer 222, but the invention is not limited thereto.

Next, referring to FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B, after the second surface 104 of the first substrate 100 is combined to the third surface 202 of the second substrate 200, the temporary substrate 110 and the release layer 130 formed on the temporary substrate 110 are removed. In the present embodiment, the first circuit layer 124 closest to the first surface 102 may be regarded as a bump structure, but the invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the first circuit layer 124 may also be an under-bump metal (UBM) layer. In the present embodiment, the linewidth of the second circuit layer 224 is greater than the linewidth of the first circuit layer 124, and the linewidth of the second circuit layer is 10 microns to hundreds of microns, but the invention is not limited thereto.

It should be noted that in the invention, the first substrate 100 and the second substrate 200 may be formed separately, and then the first substrate 100 is combined to the second substrate 200. As a result, a plurality of build-up layers may be respectively disposed and formed in different substrates and combined into one. Therefore, the number of build-up layers formed on the same substrate may be reduced, the warpage issue caused by the manufacture of the plurality of build-up layers may be alleviated, manufacturing difficulty and manufacturing cost may be reduced, and production yield may be increased.

Referring to FIG. 4C, in the present embodiment, the manufacturing method of the circuit carrier board structure 1 further includes the following steps. After the temporary substrate 110 is removed, a plurality of through-holes 150 are formed, wherein the through-holes 150 pass through the first substrate 100 and expose the conductive pads 240. For example, the through-holes 150 are formed in the plurality of first build-up layers 120 and pass through the stack of the plurality of first build-up layers 120. In the present embodiment, the through-holes 150 may be formed by mechanical drilling, laser drilling, or other suitable methods, and the invention is not limited thereto. The cross section of the through-holes 150 is, for example, a taper-shaped cross section, but the invention is not limited thereto.

Next, referring to FIG. 4D, a seed layer 140′ is formed on the first surface 102 of the first substrate 100, and the seed layer 140′ is filled in the through-holes 150 and in contact with the conductive pads 240. For example, the seed layer 140′ conformally covers the first surface 102 and the surface of the through-holes 150. In the present embodiment, the material of the seed layer 140′ includes a metal material, which may be copper or titanium/copper. The forming method of the seed layer 140′ includes electroless plating, sputtering, or a combination thereof, and the invention is not limited thereto.

Next, referring to FIG. 4E, a photoresist pattern 160 is formed, wherein the photoresist pattern 160 covers a portion of the seed layer 140′ to expose a portion of the seed layer 140′. For example, the photoresist pattern 160 exposes a portion of the seed layer 140′ filled in the through-holes 150 and exposes the seed layer 140′ partially covering the first circuit layer 124. In the present embodiment, the photoresist pattern 160 may be used to define the locations of subsequently formed conductive structures 140 (shown in FIG. 4F). The material of the photoresist pattern 160 includes a photosensitive dielectric material, polyimine, polybenzoxazole (PBO), silicone, epoxy resin, benzocyclobutene (BCB)) or other suitable materials, but the invention is not limited thereto.

Next, referring to FIG. 4E and FIG. 4F, a plating process is performed to form a plurality of conductive structures 140 from the exposed portion of the seed layer 140′. For example, the conductive structures 140 may be formed in the through-holes 150 by electroplating or electroless plating. In other words, the conductive structures 140 are filled in the through-holes 150 and electrically connected to the conductive pads 240. Next, the photoresist pattern 160 and the seed layer 140′ covered by the photoresist pattern 160 are removed.

In the present embodiment, before the photoresist pattern 160 is removed, a plurality of connection pads 142 are further formed on the first surface 102, and the connection pads 142 are electrically connected to the first circuit layer 124. In the present embodiment, the connection pads 142 and the conductive structures 140 are completed at the same time, but the invention is not limited thereto. For example, when the plurality of conductive structures 140 are formed, the partially exposed seed layer 140′ on the first surface 102 may also be used to form the connection pads 142 on the first circuit layer 124 at the same time, and the connection pads 142 are electrically connected to the conductive structures 140. Therefore, the conductive structures 140 and the connection pads 142 may be formed at the same time in a single plating process and be regarded as an integrated structure. In the present embodiment, the conductive structures 140 are electrically connected to the conductive pads 240 and the first circuit layer 124. Since the first circuit layer 124 may be electrically connected to the conductive pads 240 and the second circuit layer 224 via the connection pads 142 and the conductive structures 140, the first substrate 100 is electrically connected to the second substrate 200.

In the present embodiment, a top surface 141 of the conductive structures 140 is different from the surface adjacent to a top surface 123 of the first circuit layer 124. For example, the top surface 141 of the conductive structures 140 is adjacent to the first surface 102, a bottom surface 143 of the conductive structures 140 is adjacent to the fourth surface 204, and the diameter of the top surface 141 of the conductive structures 140 is greater than the diameter of the bottom surface 143 of the conductive structures 140. The top surface 123 of the first circuit layer 124 is adjacent to the fourth surface 204, the bottom surface 121 of the first circuit layer 124 is adjacent to the first surface 102, and the diameter of the top surface 123 of the first circuit layer 124 is greater than the diameter of the bottom surface 121 of the first circuit layer 124. The cross section of the conductive structures 140 is taper-shaped, but the invention is not limited thereto.

It should be noted that, in the invention, after the first substrate 100 is combined to the second substrate 200, the through-holes 150 may be formed on the first substrate 100 to dispose the conductive structures 140 and form the connection pads 142. Under the above configuration, in the invention, the ultrafine first circuit layer 124 may be manufactured first, and then the conductive structures 140 and the connection pads 142 having regular linewidth are manufactured. Therefore, in the invention, the first circuit layer 124, the conductive structures 140, and the connection pads 142 having different linewidths may be manufactured on the first substrate 100 in a simple process. For example, the linewidth of the first circuit layer 124 is smaller than the linewidth of the connection pads 142. Since the first substrate 100 may have both the first circuit layer 124 having ultrafine linewidth and the connection pads 140 having regular linewidth, the fine wiring requirement of bonding with the fine contacts on a chip (such as UBM) and the general wiring requirements for conducting the first substrate 100 and the second substrate 200 may be achieved without an additional interconnect structure. Therefore, the margin of the circuit layout is improved, such that the circuit carrier board structure 1 has good quality.

With the above configuration, the circuit carrier board 10 of the invention may achieve bonding with the fine contacts on the chips without the need for an additional interconnect structure. The plurality of electronic elements 500 may be electrically connected to one another via the first substrate 100, and may be electrically connected to the second substrate 200 via the conductive structures 140, thereby improving the wiring margin of the circuit carrier board structure 1, and further improving the signal integrity of signal transmission between the plurality of electronic elements 500.

In short, in the circuit carrier board structure 1 of the invention, the plurality of first build-up layers 120 and second build-up layers 220 are respectively disposed in the first substrate 100 and the second substrate 200.
